I'm second to rise this morning. Being on holidays, this is highly unusual, but I woke up this morning with a sense of pure giddiness for the day ahead.
My mother is situated at the kitchen table with a magazine. I join her and precede to write this very post in my moleskine. I consider breakfast, and reach for the bag of clementines. Naturally, the food photographer in me begins to ponder which potter the clementines would look best in. The cerulean bowl made by my aunt? The speckled plate from our art gallery?
One hour and dozens of photographs later, I finally sit down to devour my uneaten clementine. Yes. Story of my life.
Some photos from this week.

ps. thank-you

fernweh. i cannot stop smiling.
this morning was seven hours of sleep- not enough for a saturday. today was beautiful, regardless.
ReplyDeletegorgeous pictures, dear.

Mmmm that clementine picture is pure joy! Lovely post.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are absolutely breathtaking! Lovely post, dear! Do you edit your pictures? If so, what edifying program do you use?
ReplyDeleteI don't get why moleskins are such a huge deal to so many of you big teenage bloggers, but lovely photos nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteI understand why Moleskines are important! They're pretty :) haha.
ReplyDeleteMy sister loves the photo of the cat. It made her smile. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that clementine photo with the notebook sitting right beside it.

the last photo. breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteand if you ask me, i think that food photography is a weightloss program of sorts. how? because we take hours worth of photos, instead of eating the food without any other thought. you know? it works for me ;) :P
great post :))

that clementine photo is gorgeous. I loved the first one too, it's illuminated, it seems. :)
ReplyDeletemmm, clementines. your mornings sound so peaceful; ours are so loud and quick, even on weekends.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs! I especially love the clemintine one. Gorgeous. (:
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to be the first (or second in your case) to rise in the morning and let the silence soak in before the day begins. Pretty photos, pretty cat and the clementines look divine. (We call them Mandarins.
ReplyDeleteI loved the photo of the oranges, deary. So much color and beauty was captured there from daily life.
ReplyDeleteLovely post -- as always. Thank you for brightening my day!
Blessings,

It rarely happens, but I love getting up early and the beautiful silence it brings. The photos = gorgeous as always. :-)
ReplyDeletestory of my life too :)
ReplyDeleteClementine story reflects my everyday life as well dear; just the life of a photographer. (:
ReplyDeleteso pretty. and yes. by the time I eat something I've photographed, it's cold. ;) xo
ReplyDeleteOh, I love these pictures! Aren't clementines (or, as we call them, "Christmas Oranges") delicious? It gets pretty funny when I'm with my family and we're about to dig into some sumptuous treat when I yell, "Nobody touch it!" and run to get the camera. Then they all wait until I'm satisfied with my photos and finally say, "Okay. Carry on."
ReplyDeleteAbbie /// XOXOXOX
every time you make another post, i love your blog a little bit more.

gahhh. so, so pretty, love. and yes, I've gotten used to eating cold food...the things we do for a photograph ;)
ReplyDeletexo,

I love the clementine photo! And the cat is adorable.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this post!
ReplyDeletethat last photo is like a rainbow of purple and blue! And I can totally understand the clementine thingajig... though if it were me, there wouldn't be any left by the time I was going to take a picture. I love clementines too much :]
ReplyDeleteWe're never eating a hot meal here again. I was gifted Plate To Pixel for Christmas and now? Everything must be photographed.
ReplyDeleteAlso--you have an art gallery?
I love clementines and I did the SAME thing last week, I sat down to eat one and ended up pulling out my camera and taking photos of it for a half an hour! :) Glad to know I'm not the only one!! Hehe.

clementines have never looked so beautiful as they do in that photo! so perfect :)
ReplyDeleteWell, the hour you took to take that picture of the clementine was most definitely worth it! I agree with Whitney - it's the most beautiful clementine I have ever seen! :)
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely try submitting it to Foodgawker!

ReplyDeletei´ve smiled when i´ve read: "the food photographer in me", cause i also can´t help taking photos to some food before eating it :D
